Linux Implementation of SCO UnixWare BFS

by Tigran A. Aivazian

GOOD NEWS! Linus has included my patch into the official kernel
yesterday (28/10/99) so instead of downloading it from here you can go
to your nearest kernel mirror (see
Mirrors) and download it
from there, make sure you get the version 2.3.25 or later.

This page will always contain the latest version of the BFS patch, i.e. any
bugfixes that are not yet part of the standard kernel.
The patch can be downloaded here.

To use this patch you need to have Linux 2.3.25 sources unpacked in your /usr/src/linux
directory and then use:

# cd /usr/src ; patch -p0 < bfs-2.3.25.patch

command to patch the kernel.
During configuration be sure to answer Y to the
'Prompt for development and/or incomplete code/drivers' question and Y or M to
'BFS filesystem support'.
There is some documentation on the usage of this module in
Documentation/filesystems/bfs.txt file (after the patch has been applied).
